I grew up on a NQ family owned beef breeder operation before heading up to the NT where I developed skills on bigger sized operations. From there I went into the mines for experience in earth moving equipment. While in the mines I did some part time work to gain more experience - grounds keeping, fencing, quarry work and farm/ tractor work on days off along with contract mustering.
I am currently finishing a Cert 3 in Business Admin and a Cert 4 in Agriculture with the view to do more study in the future. I have done Chemical Accreditation, Trainer Assessor Cert 4, Preg Testing, Business of Grazing as well as several business/management development courses. And am happy to do more in regards to development.
I would describe myself as-
- Get things done attitude
-Always willing to learn more
-Balance productivity with safety to ensure work can progress
-Honest, loyal and professional

'Bronte has been with me the last few months now and is still working for me. She is an exceptionally capable young women. She has been helping me with everything, I am here alone so as you can imagine there is a lot that needs to be done. Mustering, and then processing and handling cattle in the yards – everything that comes with that, treating, vaccinating, anything that is required. I have left my weed control in her hands, she knows how to use and apply chemical and is doing a great job. In her spare time she has been re-designing and remodelling my yards, which involves a lot of cutting and welding. She has a lot of previous experience from elsewhere and I am very fortunate to have found her, and had her for as long as I have. She has a background in livestock and is off a family place. She is very competent on horses and motorbikes. Horses particularly, she has a lot of experience in and is extremely competent. She also has a magnificent string of working dogs, she runs them very well – another asset of Bronte’s. Bronte is also very good with staff, it is a real forte of hers. She has spent a great deal of time with young people (troubled youth), employing them and managing them. Her communication, relationship management and mentoring skills are amazing, I have seen her in action and would say this is a particular asset of hers. Anything to do with selecting, and managing staff she can do. She is a great role model. Bronte has a great deal of drive, she is passionate about the ag industry and everything she does. I really do wish her well. I can’t recommend her highly enough, she is an enormous asset. '

Hi, I’m a 39yo male that lives in western Sydney. My main occupation over 20yrs has been excavator/bobcat operations until I recently started my own business DK Mowing & Landscape Maintenance. The business has been operating since December 2018. I live with my fiancée Kristy and she works full time as a manager at Ausco, she actually doesn’t know I’m doing this. During my years of operations I took a break and decided to do my cert 3 in Ag. After completing my cert 3 I started my cert 4 by correspondence but at around half way through I stopped as I didn’t have the time to do it. I continued working on a farm down in the southern Riverina for another 5yrs. While I did my cert 3 the farm had no livestock, no pastures, irrigation, ect only the perimeter fencing that’s it. My main roll was to take over after doing my cert 3 with some guidance from the teacher and turn it into a fully functioning rotational grazing setup to breed and sell prime lambs. The main paddock was only 300 acres (120 ha) so nothing to extravagant but whether it be 12,000 ha or 100ha it would have just involved more rotational paddocks with more livestock on a much bigger scale. Anyway pretty much everything we needed I either fabricated or it was bought and I set out to design it such as sheep yards, race, weigh station, holding yards, fencing, gates posts and stays, main water supply to all troughs, stock route, ect ect, I looked after cropping, all pastures which was mainly lucerne, and got in sub contractors to spray and sow. I also worked the farm as a zero till which suited a modern air seeder. Our sheep were composite ewes and rams white Suffolk’s. We also turned out some first crosses also. Our main crops were canola, wheat, barley. It was also my job to estimate yield, treat pests and diseases, soil tests, ect. So the reason I’m doing this is because I really miss the land. I actually feel like that’s where I belong. The reason I didn’t continue on the land was the income difference between operating in Sydney and working for someone on the land. I’m really looking for something where I could work 2 weeks on 1 week off or even if there were a second living quarters just stay there. So preferably I’d like to work on a prime lamb facility where I would be in my element. Cheers,
Regards, Dave.

The 10,000 acre grazing and cropping, family owed property in the Amelup/Borden region of WA is well managed by my father, but I feel that experience elsewhere in the state and country would greatly benefit myself and business and help keep our methods and approach both modern and profitable.

He has had limited experience with the boom spray (tractor pulled) – has just started to pick it up in the last 3-4 years, he can spray but not that confident. Looking to develop his skills and seek experience. Sheep, great with handling livestock. He is starting to make decisions with me now and picks up on small details in our stock. Very experienced. Would not have a problem with him. Willing to have a go. Very honest, if he has made a mistake he will tell you. Quiet boy, he can work alone. Good communication skills. Very aware of communication. Great work ethic. Looking for a family farm that are switched on operators opposed to a corporate company. '

For the past four years I have been a senior farmhand on a dryland cropping property near Griffith, NSW. I am involved with all aspects of production on the property and entrusted with a large amount of responsibility in decision making in regards to spraying and seasonal operations. During this time I have also been able buy and sell Merino cross lambs and agist them on the same property, as well as muster feral goats. Whilst I enjoy all aspects of agriculture my main interests lie within livestock production, particularly sheep. I have a young family and am keen to find a position where I am able to increase my knowledge and skills and also take on a certain level of responsibility. I hold an MC NSW driver's licence and also own one working dog with a keen interest in training more should I find employment in with livestock.

Hello,
My name is Liana Tyne and I’m interest in a career within the agricultural industry during the 2019 year and onwards.
Growing up and now working on a dairy and beef farm, has helped me to develop and learn skills associated with farming, cattle and calf handling, pasture management and operating farming machinery.
I have gained other agricultural skills through my school Agriculture farm, where I have attended numerous cattle handling seminars as well as working with show cattle and cattle studs. These opportunities have helped me to develop and learn more within the agriculture industry.
The activities and opportunities I have undertaken have helped me to develop skills, such as the ability to work well in a team environment, the ability to anticipate, understand and meet the standards required of me as well as conducting myself appropriately in different situations.
My work ethics are of the highest standard and I am an avid and quick learner and pride myself on effective communication and achieving my own personal goals as well as meeting team objectives within their industry.
I believe with my willingness to learn, ability to adapt to new challenges and my passion for the agricultural industry, I could be an important part of your team, if given the opportunity.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this!
Kind Regards,

He had been on a tractor but he hadn't done the work I had him doing before. By the end of the season he had picked it up well. He was reliable. He would do his job and not muck about. He'd always ask what was next and talk to us on the UHF to see how we wanted things done. I'd have him back next season.'

I really enjoyd both of these jobs and I learned different skills that I can use in the jobs to come. I may not have grown up on a farm, but I have spent all my summers at the contryside, where we grew different vegetables, so from a young age I have helped with different jobs and learned the importance of work. This makes me dedicated and you can trust that I will always show up on time to work. I’m not afraid of long hours, I more prefer them.

He is one of those guys that is always early, and happy to stay late, never complains, I never had one problem with Angus. We were working sheep & cattle; fine wool merinos, a small charalet stud and commercial cows as well. He is a good, calm stock handler, really impressive skills. We used dogs, bikes and horses and he was proficient in all. He has a couple of good dogs that he used , always got the job done easily with them. I was confident in him working alone, I know I didn’t have to double check his work, it would always be done to a high standard and the best of his ability. I got on with Angus really well, we became mates. He was responsible for other workers while he was with me, he was good at delegating and workers were happy to take orders from him. Highly recommend him as an overseer, with a bit of guidance. Not a solo manager position at the moment.. Needs a few more years under a good manager to bring him to the management stage. As an overseer he would ideal. Whoever employs Angus is lucky to have him.'

Stock handling, he is great with sheep – really good. He has a dog, only works in the yards & sheds best but can work in the paddock. He is competent on motorbikes. He’s good, tell him what you want done and he gets it done. Especially in the yards drenching backlining – he a goer. Very quiet, might have to push a little bit because he is a bit quiet. Once you get to know him a bit this changes. Has done a bit of cropping, he can drive machinery, forklifts etc – capable at all that. I’ve known him for years and think he’s great, would recommend him.'

'He was an IT relocation mover for me. He helped me moved companies. This means heavy listing, disconnecting and then reconnecting IT connections etc. He was one of my perfect guys. Unfortunately he moved on. He was very punctual. One of the things I can say about him is that he can work by himself. He doesn't need supervsion. He was one of 5 workers I had who were perfect. '

'Jason worked with me in my fencing contracting business about two years ago, he was with me for about 18 months. He did a bit of everything, driving tractors, post hole diggers, running wires. Work ethic was always pretty good, you have to give him a lot of direction. Once he has it and is on task he is good, just needs some help keeping on task from time to time. He was always punctual and reliable, never had a sick day or anything. Communication was good, he had a few hiccups and always came to me and owned up straight away. He was pretty green when he started with me but was really willing to learn and have a go. I have no dramas recommending him. '

He is absolutely fantastic, you will have no problems with him. He is great at leading a team, giving orders, communicating and those things – excellent. His cattle handling skills are sensational, his horse skills even better. He is great, anyone that has him will be pretty happy! His work ethic and commitment to his job are outstanding.

Bill Rutherford & Sheila Cunningham
We are a mature, reliable and responsible couple, working together according to our individual strengths and experience.
We made the decision to spend our last few working years working in different places as a way to see more of our world.
Bill was born and raised in Central Otago, NZ, taking over the family farm upon the death of his father just after he left school. He has remained self employed for the majority of his working life. Sheila has a background in the military and engineering.
In general Bill is the hands-on person while Sheila handles all admin and organisation but Sheila is also quite capable of stepping into and enjoying a practical role as required.
We have clean NZ HT licences (4FRW and 2FRTW) , which translated to Vic LR and MR as well as forklift, loader, motorcycle and quad-bike experience .
We both have many years experience working independently, not requiring any external motivation to get the job done in a timely and efficient manner.
Neither of us are clock watchers and, given the option, will complete a job rather than come back to it the next day.
We are clearly aware of the necessity to work with the weather and the season.
We are of course willing to be drug tested.

'We had Will a couple of years ago, driving the air seeder for us. He was very proficient, it was a bit different to what he was used to, we run big machinery, large scale broad acre farming. He took it on really well and picked it up quickly, he was a valued member of the team. We had older machinery too that required a fair bit of work and maintenance, I have very high standards and expectations and Will adhered to them. He was always willing to listen and did things the way I wanted them done with no problems. Communication for me is critical, it just doesn’t work without it, Will was a member of tour team and communicated well. He worked long demanding hours and I never had a problem with him. I would have no dramas in recommending Will'

It was his first time on a dairy farm so his skills developed while he was with us but he was really good. He had driven machinery before so I was never nervous with him on the tractor. He had a good nature with with animals. He's a nice guy. Reliable and hard working. He's not backwards in coming forwards and would discuss his pay and conditions with me but not in an aggressive or argumentative way, '

'Will was here about a year ago for a few months, when it was wet season up north. Before we start there is one thing I would like to say, he is probably the only bloke that has ever worked here that I would re-eomply, who-ever gets him will be bloody happy. We have sheep and cattle and do some farming, while Will was here he did a bit of everything. He was 18 at the time, very knowledgeable, from a hard working family, competent machinery operator – he was driving GPS tractors for us. His stock handling skills are great, he did some shearing while he was here too. He was everything I was looking for in a worker. If anyone wants to know any other more specific details I’m more than happy to help. I would absolutely love to have Will back. '

Comes from a good family, he put the hours in and did as he was told. Good kid at the time and I’m sure he is a good bloke today. It’s hard when you have been on your family farm for 15 odd years when it comes to referencing and things, I guess it’s just trusting when people tell you he’s a good bloke.'

I am an Agricultural Engineer from Córdoba, Argentina. I plan to spend around 9 months during 2019 working in Australia, and I am therefore seeking for a job.
To start with, I graduated in December 2016 as an Agricultural Engineer (equivalent to Agronomist) and since then I have worked for two different companies. I worked from April 2017 to March 2018 for the Catholic University of Cordoba (the University I graduated from) as a Resident of Agricultural Establishments. This Institution owns around 4000 hectares of arable land on which it performs extensive cropping; and 3500 hectares of grazing land where it runs a 5-breed seedstock operation. As a resident, I performed the everyday tasks of a mixed operation, such as facilities maintenance and repair, animal feeding, husbandry, vaccination, castration and general care. Furthermore, I also performed more specific tasks such as crop scouting, pesticide prescription and spraying, seeding and harvest control and campaing planning among others.
In May 2018 I started working at Tecnocampo S.A., a farming company owned by my family, as Technical Responsible of Production. In that position, I was responsible for all the processes and tasks required for extensive crop production (corn, soybeans, wheat, chickpeas, beans among others) in certain farms (around 2000 hectares). I was in charge of campaing planning, seeding, crop scouting, pesticide prescription, harvest control, soil sampling, analysis and fertilizer prescription and logistics. I also designed and conducted field trials and processed GIS information and statistics (for example, yield maps). It is mainly dryland but I had around 110 hectares of chickpeas under central pivot irrigation last winter. Our summer crops are corn (regular, popcorn, flint corn); different beans (mung, navy, black, LRK, DRK) and soybeans. In the winter we produce mainly chickpeas for export, and also some wheat. In our area, we get most of the rain during the summer and none during the winter, so corn and soybeans are our main crops as well as chickpeas.The company farms around 50.000 hectares around the country and runs an Aberdeen Angus seedstock operation. I am able to work outdoors as well as in the office.
As regards my personality, I am a proactive person who is always looking forward to solving the next problem. I like to put thought to everything I do. I love to work in teams, discussing every decision and supporting each other. I consider myself a kind, tranquil and respectful person. Finally, I enjoy very much working outdoors on the field.
My goal in Australia is to spend some time abroad, learning about how farming is performed and applying my knowledge from Argentina in the Australian environment.

I grew up on a large, remote station an hour south of Cobar in Western New South Wales and am passionate about our agricultural industry. This has allowed me to harness and enhance key agricultural skills such as low stress livestock management, grazing practices, correct use of farm equipment and machinery as well as gain a positive grounding. I have also learnt to adapt to and appreciate the need for long days and the value of work. I have worked with goats, White Dorpers (both a stud and commercial operation) and a mix of cattle breeds. I love working in teams but can also be independent. My machinery skills are not as extensive as my livestock capabilities but I am keen to learn and improve. I am able to help out with both household and farm duties. I am also able to bring my own motorbike and dog if required or suitable to work/ living conditions.

I run a contract harvesting business and I would happily leave him on a machine and he would run it without any dramas. Sometimes he would be in QLD and I would be in central NSW and I just knew I could trust him with it. He's a really good worker. he's great for my business because he s very polite so I didn't have any worries with him taking care with clients etc. He was good with machinery. When he first started with me he didn't know that much but he picked it up fast. I would only have to tell him once. If he didn't know something he would always ask which I always prefer. He had no trouble with that. I would strongly recommend him. He's just a pleasure to be around and well mannered. I think whoever employs him will be very happy with him. '

'I have known Matt Jones for around ten (10) years. During this period he has been agisting cattle on our property and I have found him to be a stable, mature and respectful individual. Matt is energetic, trustworthy and is a dedicated husband and father with high moral standards. He has excellent team and leadership skills and an ability to change and cope with whatever tasks or events may happen to collide during planned works for the day or week ahead. Regarding animal husbandry he has exceptional skills and knowledge which has been instilled in Matt at a very young age. Caring for animals of all types has been a part of the Jones & Sons family business. Working in the family business Matt has developed high standards with work. There is a variety of diverse opportunities which include all aspects of cattle management, agricultural and pasture improvements including developing and maintaining varied crops. Matt also operates part of a family team operating and milling timber with onsite timber mill producing all standards of landscaping and high standard hardwood for building. His other interest has been ongoing commitment with understanding and breeding livestock, training and breeding stock horses and I believe he has a range of rare skills for his age. Over the past ten (10) years Matt has repaired various plant items on our property including tractors of varied manufactures including slashers and spreaders items such as skid steer bobcats and hydraulic slasher, augers and spreaders. He has excellent plant operation skills and knowledge with front end loaders and attachments of varied types. He operates a 20-tonne excavator which the family owns. He also operates skidders, dozers and cattle truck tippers up to heavy combination. Matt can carry out most onsite mechanical repairs for tractors, vehicles and associated plant items including servicing pumps and general maintenance. Matt has held the position of Maintenance Officer at our local bushfire brigade and has excellent knowledge and experience in bushfire suppression and hazard reduction works. He is a valued member and respected by his bushfire station colleges. Any employer who has the opportunity would benefit greatly from having Matt join their team.'

To Whom It May Concern,
I am very interested this role and believe that my qualifications, education and professional experience would make me a strong candidate for this line of work.
I am an Honest, Reliable and Hardworking professional who is Adaptable and Flexible. I am a very polite and courteous team member who will step up and take leadership when needed. I always like to smile and bring happiness to someone's day. Being born and raised on the land, I know the meaning of hard work. I am always willing to learn and try new things if it means I can better my work ethic and personal drive. All I want to do is to be given a fair go, so I can show I can work hard and give back to this company. I am willing to work long hard hours to get the job done correctly and efficiently.
My Previous experience with working in a Farming & harvesting, provided me with diverse knowledge of machinery and how things work. It has also given me the drive to learn more about how things work and how to fix them when they break. . I have worked in various jobs in my short 20 years, I have travelled hundreds of Kilometres for work. Travelling from Central QLD to NSW and all the way to VIC Shepparton less than 200 km out of Melbourne. More recently, I worked for Maryborough Sugar Factory & Doyles Harvesting for the 2017 & 2018 Sugar cane crush where I was a haul out operator, working with a large crew and varied circumstances of terrain and work hours including Shift work and working night shifts.
I have always been the girl who says if he can do it so can I and that’s something I have strongly perused. I was the first female bin out driver at MSF. I was one of the first female combine harvester drivers at Brigalow. I have always loved being covered is grease and oil and coming home covered in dirt. I feel accomplished and proud working long hard hours and doing work typically you would not find a female doing. It encourages the next generation to do something that may not be the “norm”. .
I have recently started my own business venture in stud and commercial breeding as Cacti Cattle Company, based at Manumbar QLD. On your family’s 600-acre property. Currently running Brahman Breeders. My goal for my company/stud is to produce top quality Speckle Park Cattle.
Enclosed is my resume that more fully details my background and work experience, and how they relate to your position. I firmly believe that I can be a valuable asset to your team. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about a position and how my experience could help This Company achieve its goals in this Industry.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

'Billie did the harvest season with me, started October last year and finished up in Jan. She was on the header mostly, and did a bit of tractor driving. She had never driven a header before, she was really keen to learn and picked it up really quickly. She was responsible for the maintenance of the machines too (blowing down, greasing etc) and jumped at any jobs thrown at her. Working long hours didn’t worry her at all. She had been working on a sugar cane place before so is used to long hours I guess. She always turned up on time and was reliable. If she had a question she would ask and if she broke something she would tell you. I’d recommend her for sure. '

I am a 27 year old german girl, looking for a farm to work at and experience the australian farmer's life. I am in my second year visa already and want to work all the time through until september 2019.
I used to work at a diary farm back home and for two different pearling farms in WA. I know what I can expect. Hard and dirty work and I am fine with it. I am strong and like to challenge myself to learn something new. I have a drivers license and a 4wdr. Also I know how to ride a motorbike (no license tho)
I am working in the hospitality since about 8 years. Long days and hard work is what I am used to. Working independently or in a team, I don't mind. I love it to be in the nature and don't mind sun or rain. My english skills are very well since I am traveling for almost two years.

'Tom has worked for me a number of times. Majority machinery operation – spraying, harvest, ploughing. He has also spent time moving ex farm grain, shed work, and performing maintenance on machinery. He is a reliable operator, he is from a farming background and you can tell that he has done it all before, and knows his way around. Didn’t have any issues with him at all and would happily have him back. He was always happy to put in the hours, you can certainly leave him unsupervised and know that he will get the job done, well. Definitely capable of management, I am off a family farm myself and he would be exactly the kind of person I would be looking for if I wanted someone to run the place. Farm management is where he wants to be from what I can tell, he has the drive you need. I would absolutely recommend Tom.'

' Ben was with us for 2 years, he left in September. He was Assistant Manager here; mixed farming, Irrigation, dryland – he was jack of all trades. Overall very good, when you left him alone he made a couple of bad decisions. I would say he is suited to a role with direction, opposed to a role of large responsibility. He is a very nice person, although communication needs work. He relies on the internet, rather than a conversation to base his decisions. Other than that he is very good, he is reliable, turns up on time. He is a pretty good machinery operator, you have to keep at him with a few things, maintenance etc. He is ok at handling stock. I would recommend him, just not into a top management position, he is suited to assistant manager.'

We both have driving licenses. Our last position was in Auscott cotton farm, where we worked almost for a year. Mainly our job was to operate tractors (John Deeres like 8310RT, 8370RT, 8285R, 8295R, 8345R, 9470RX, 6155M, JCB backhoe and Merlo) and doing works like discing, ripping, planting, spreading, rolling hills, hilling up, grader boarding, working with cultipacker, scarify, drag bucket, chaser bin and lilliston rig. We have had lots of training about safety, equipment maintenance and operating. We worked in 12 hours day or night shifts and 12 days in 2 weeks, so long working hours wouldn’t be a problem for us.
We are not afraid to learn new things.
In short, we are honest, capable of learning quickly, stress resilient, hard working Estonians with a sense of responsibility in what we do.

'Kaisa & Kenet did two seasons with me, both for about six months between 2016 – 2018. They mostly operated machinery, we practice row cropping which is a bit more complex and they could handle that well. They are both skilled operators and I was happy to have them operating our machinery. Punctuality and Reliability, they were fairly disciplined. Communication is one of their downfalls, they haven’t been in Australia long although their English is improving . They are both quietly spoken. I have no dramas recommending them both, anything around machinery and operation especially, they will be right. '

'Kimberley has been working on and off with us over the last five years. She first came to help with shearing, she came with no experience but was so willing to step up and have a go, she became quite proficient. She has that common sense you would expect of someone that has grown up on the land. She is always asking what needs doing next and if she can help with anything. She helped us with fencing, cattle work, sheep (mustering, drafting, drenching, roustabout). She is always first up in the morning, very punctual and reliable. She lives in our house when he is working for us, she is just as helpful and pleasant in the house as she is at work. We are very happy for her to work unsupervised.

He's also had experience with bore maintenance and bore-running, fencing, welding etc. He was involved in a lot of mustering on a two wheel motorbike. I didn't have him operating any heavy machinery but he operated a fork lift and tractor. He was careful with the equipment. He's multi-skilled, self-motivated and a team player. He'd pick up a pastoral job anywhere. He’s very good with the cattle. He could work on his own or in a team. He would take instructions on board. I would say he's above average.

I'm Jonathon Campbell and I'm currently living in Tasmania and I am interested in becoming a farmhand or jackaroo within your cooperation. I would like to gain experience within the cropping and livestock industry. I haven’t had much experience working on a farm or large scale operation but am eager to have a go and put in the hard work to learn new skills and have knowledge that I can use in the future and pass on to others. During my time working with my father on our sheep and beef property, I have done lamb-marking and woolpressing which isn’t an easy job. In my opinion, I have learnt the meaning ‘hard work’ from this. In 2014, I completed a dairy pre-employment training course at Alanvale Tafe Tasmania which teaches us: basic fencing skills, quad bike safety, OHS in agriculture, pasture management, animal welfare and diseases that can affect milk production and quality which will help me. I would really like to learn to ride a horse from a basic level through to an advanced rider and the same goes to riding a motorbike. I would like to become to skilled and work hard to become a skillful employee. Through a variety of jobs I have learnt about safely working with and around machinery. My work experience, which I believe will assist me in this position, includes working on my father’s farm; greens keeper's assistant at Barnbougle; along with other positions which have provided me with experience, knowledge, the ability to work in a team and unsupervised, and further developed an already an excellent work ethic. I am also willing to undertake my certificate in agriculture while working for you if its possible.I am a committed, hard working, energetic young gentleman. If you were to employ me I can promise you will not have any regrets. I am also prepared to move if successful. Enclosed is my resume for your review. Thank you for considering me for this position and am looking forward to hearing from you.

'Brooke helped me out on and off about two years ago. We have a horse adjustment business in the northern suburbs of Perth in WA. General animal care and hygiene and property maintenance were here main duties. She also had to deal with a lot of our clients, who need a lot of reassurance surrounding the care of their animals. Considering her age at the time, she was great, most her age are awful. Brooke has a brain, she is a good worker, she gets in and gets the job done. I would ask her to do something and I knew I didn’t have to worry, it would be done well, she understood the importance of doing a job once and well. She is sharp, quite shy which made it a bit difficult to have a conversation at the beginning but she definitely got better with time. She is at the high end of good workers. I would have no dramas in recommending her, she definitely has a brain. You could put her anywhere, she would cope with remote work, she really isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty. '

I have grown up on a small beef cattle property north of Canberra and have always had a strong interest in Agriculture. Throughout high school I worked casually on a nearby wool and fat lamb property developing a strong interest in the sheep sector, I have worked as a rouseabout on other properties and am currently completing a certificate IV in wool classing via distance.
Because of my interest in sheep and cattle I decided to study Vet Science at university. I will be in second year in 2019 and upon graduation I would like to become a mixed/large animal vet in a rural area.
Coming from a grazing area I have had limited exposure to cropping. Aside from small amounts of cultivation and fodder conservation undertaken at home. For this reason I am very interest to learn about the day to day operations of a cropping operation.

'Collin worked for me about four years ago, for 14-16 months. He covered all general farm duties, and was responsible for everything that happened in the milking shed. His work ethic was alright, he was never late and never complained. Communication wasn’t great, we were operating with mobile phones when he was with us and he didn’t have one which made it hard, once we started using radios it became much easier. I had no issues with Collin at all, I would have him back again if he was looking for work. '

'She was with us for about 10 months, finished about a month ago. We are a cotton growing company, most of her work was on the irrigation. She was starting pipes, tractor work, row cropping, operating a small excavator. She came to us pretty green but picked everything up really quickly, once you taught her something you didn’t have to go back and teach her again. She was performing basic maintenance on machinery and doing oil changes on stationary engines. She was punctual and reliable. Her communication skills are ok, she is a quiet girl and you have to coax conversation out of her, she is polite though. It was a shame she had to leave. I wrote her a really good reference letter, from what I understand she is looking for a position with more of a livestock focus. '

His work ethic is not bad, he responds well to instruction although has little initiative, he needs direction and good clear instruction (multiple times), he can become side tracked. He is reliable and punctual. His communication skills are developing, he is a genuine and pleasant young man. He is very kind with animals, he works well with them. I would have no reservations in recommending him for any future work, although I do not think he has the skill set for any high level, managerial roles.

Her work ethic was absolutely fantastic to be honest with you; at the start of the day she would check her vehicle, oil, tyres and then head off for the day, you wouldn’t hear from her and she would get the job done really well. She was very trustworthy and I had no reservations in her working unsupervised. There are not to many people around like Emily, she is also good for a laugh which is always great!

She’s been here for about 6 months I guess working Wednesday nights and Thursday mornings. Her work ethic isn’t too bad, neither is her punctuality and reliability. As I said, I haven’t spent too much time with her and it’s hard to keep track of all of the casuals movements. It’s simple work, penning cattle, recording numbers, making sure they are moved to the right spot, those kind of things – she does all of that ok. I don’t really know of her other skills, but in a stock handling capacity she is alright. '

Mostly harvest work, and other general farm jobs (the only thing he didn’t do was spraying), he spent lots of time on the chaser bin and did some laser bucket driving too. He is a good operator, very conscientious. When he got here he didn’t have heaps of experience under his belt, he started slow and learnt really well. I had confidence in him to operate most of my machinery. He was always on time, if not early and never had and dramas with staying behind late. Hi communication was good, if there were any issues he would tell me, he could have been quicker to let me know at time, but in general pretty good.

'Todd has been with us for 4-5 years, while he has been studying at uni. We operate large scale irrigated Lucerne hay and have some stock. Todd’s daily responsibilities are cutting, raking, bailing hay and trucking and moving bails for deliveries etc. He is only 23, and is capable although mechanically needs tuition. He tends to do everything at great speed also, he needs to learn to slow down. He has got his semi-truck license since he has been with us, and has spent time with our experienced driver. He seemed to be keen on that and has recently delivered a few loads of hay unsupervised. He has got work ethic, puts in a lot of hours – he is happy to work through the night when needed. He is not a great communicator, this has been a big thing. He will always ask the simple questions, apart from that he is a closed book. He needs to work on taking ownership of his mistakes, he doesn’t tell me when he has messed up – I know that he has multiple times, I have recently spoken to him about his accountability. He is reliable and punctual. He has said he is interested in stock work, I wouldn’t pick him as a livestock man. If I asked him to drench sheep, he would be able to do it although he has no experience mustering, handling, treating – anything. He is not a tidy worker, you can open the door of a ute or truck and know that he has been there, it’s just those little things that you shouldn’t have to ask a hundred times, he could be better at. If he leaves here, it wont be on bad terms and I am happy to have him stay, he just has a few things to work on, a maturity thing. '

My family grows a lot of its own food and I have also been involved in that. I have planted different crops, maintained them through growing period, picked and sorted them. When I was 17 I started working in Vikerkaare farm as a berry picker in the summer, I really liked the job and I worked there for 4 more summers. When I was 20 I started working in a busy clothes store where I had 12 hour shifts. For a year and a half I also had a second job in a club. From 2012 to 2017 I also went to college, so during that time I understood what hard work is and I know I’m not afraid of it.
I have had a lot of work experience in a team and because of that I know how to consider with others needs and value everybody’s skills. For the past year and a half I was an assistant manager in a clothes store which made me even more of a team player. I have no problem with leading a team and training new and old workers.

20 years old, Full licence holder. Have my own accommodation on property between Forbes and west wyalong.
Completed certificate III in Agriculture and completing my certificate IV in agriculture currently.
I am looking for full-time work on a mixed farm around West Wyalong, Forbes area and Grenfell area NSW at an entry level where I am able to utilize the skills that I have obtained during my studies at Tocal agricultural college. I am a confident worker who can work alone and in a team, good livestock handling skills, competent with quad/motor bike operation, confident at machinery operation and general farm maintenance. Throughout my studies at Tocal college I have been able to obtain my Cert3 chemicals card, LLS 1080/pinedone certification, first aid certificate and Q-fever vaccination. I have had a couple of practical experiences in the industry, one in central west Queensland on cattle station. Consisted of mustering on horseback, livestock handling in yard, machinery operation and general farm maintenance. Another work experience at Kooba station, Darlington point working with livestock. During this time spent here I was involved with calf marking and moving and handling livestock.
I have always had an interest in agriculture, working with animals, machinery and cropping. I am very passionate about what I do, and love to encourage others with the same passion to follow through with their dreams. I believe with completing agriculture in my high school certificate, certificate III in agriculture and certificate IV, has helped me gain more knowledge about working on the land and the life skills that will help me be able to further my career. Due to agriculture becoming a strong and well needed industry in the future, I would love to be a part of it, providing production to Australia and the wider world.

I come from a family where honesty, integrity & hard work are the core values of our family. My brothers & I have always been taught to own our mistakes & look for the lesson in them. I understand that mistakes happen but I also understand that this is a part of learning.
I have a passion for agriculture. It is not always easy to get a start when your only experience is working on the family’s farms. I have for many years assisted my parents with their farm work. I believe that, given an opportunity, I could show by example that I would be a valuable member of the team.
I am young, energetic, honest & I learn quickly, I believe that given an opportunity I would be a valuable asset to your team. Even if unsuccessful I ask that you keep my information & if something comes up at a later date please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I grew up on a farm on a cattle and sheep farm on the west coast of Scotland. From a very young age i was working on the farm and all the general duties with working with machinery/tractors. I also work at my uncles farm at weekends and when i had free time outwith my previous employment at the council. I have experience with both the feeding and looking after of the animals and Lambing/Calving them. Any general farm duties I can do. With the Tractor experience back home i have Ploughed, Power Harrowed, Harrowed, Spread dung, Carted Bails, fed the live stock, rolling etc. I am a very quick learner and i am very keen to go into any line of work to gain new experience..Since being in Australia i worked on a large 60000 acre farm in NSW planting crops with large air seeders and 1000HP tractors with GPS systems. Other duties where general maintenance of the grounds which included ploughing, kelly chains etc. Mustered cattle and sheep with feeding and general duties with the livestock. At harvest i was a chaser bin driver but also keen to learn on a header.

'Timmo was great , he did do what was asked of him and did a great job . He has some pretty bad jobs ( like picking up 2000 syphons ) and he did them all in the heat , on his own. He would be good on Machinery once you show him what needs doing. He does struggle at time with the " Aussie Lingo " but its just a matter of making sure he understands before leaving him with the task.'

Working in Australia on the farms of Gavin and Mark was very exciting and instructive. They tought me how to operate different types of tractors and machinery and i got a lot of new experiences and impressions of how farming in Australia works. I also got in touch with sheep work and how to drench and bullet them and even crutching the rams. That was very interesting, because it was something totally new and different to me.
Overall it was a very good and interesting experience in Australia and i really would like to make more out of it now.
Becoming a specialist in farming is not as easy. There are so many aspects to look at and think about to not make any grave mistakes during seeding, pest management and harvest.
But i am very keen to give it a try! Step by step if there is a way to become a farming specialist one day.
Somewhere in the future i would like to manage a farm and work close, hand in hand with the owner of a farm. For the beginning i would like to get more experience in operating large machinery like the Krone BigPack 1290 HDP, the Claas Lexion 795 or the John Deere S790. On the one hand it is because of my love to the big machinery but on the other hand it is because of lerning more of how and when to harvest grain or bale in different weather conditions and how to handle harvesting and baling in consideration of the moisture.
In the next step i’d like to lern more about preparing the paddocks for seeding and how to find out what type of fertilizer is needed on each paddock in consideration of the plants the farmer wants to grow on it for getting the best possible crop out of it. And of course i am interested in operating a boom sprayer and would like to find out the best, effectivly and environment friendliest way of spraying weeds, diseases and insects on farms outside europe.
I guess there are many more things to consider and think about, but i think i can handle all necessary aspects to become a good farm hand or later one day a assistant or manager.

'Mark worked with us for about 20 or 30 weeks in different roles. When he started he was a general labourer, his duties included cleaning up and keeping sites tidy, moving gear around and helping tradies when they needed it. When he got his telehandler license we started using him as a driver on the tele and manitou, moving pallets around and doing bin runs. He was always, always on time and considering he had never driven a telehandler before, he had no stuff ups which is pretty rare. He was really good, any job in construction I would definitely recommend him for. '

He was happy to work longer hours if he needed to. If you set him a task, he would do it. He was a good machinery operator. If you gave him the spray reccos, he could mix up the chemical himself. He was experienced with cropping. I think he was aiming to move in to a management role when he left here and I think he would be capable."'

I also trained him on the harvester as a back-up driver. I would have loved him to stay but he was keen to move on. I'm not sure what farming experience but if you were to put him in a role he hadn't done before he is the kind of guy that learns quickly. He was a good operator, looked after the machinery and was good with maintenance. He could fix any basic problems. He always let me know if there was a problem.

'Tom worked on or dairy farm milking and looking after the place when we had time off. He did this weekly and if we ever went away, He would be in charge of the place which meant being responsible for feeding, mechanical repairs, animal husbandry and herd health. It was a high level of responsibility in a fairly big business. It required a broad skillset: machinery, cultivation, animal husbandry, nutrition and pasture management. He was the best worker I had. I called him 'perpetual motion' because he was never in a hurry but he never stopped. He would observe things and assess them and then get stuck in. You only had to tell him to do something once and it was done. He would ask questions if he didn't know something which I like but he would also show initiative to solve problems. He was a lovely natured-young man with a real passion for farming.'

I can definitely recommend Russell, and would go as far as confidently recommending him to manage a place. He is meticulous in his work.

Information

I was driving large tractors since March 2016. Ploughing, planting wheat, oats, chickpeas and sorghum, slashing, offset discing, prickle and kelly chaining, some spraying and chasing the headers for harvest.
I have spent hundreds of hours on JD 8000-series with GreenStar GPS, but have also experience with Case Steiger 450 and Trimble GPS and a few smaller front end loader tractors.
Currently I am working in the civil construction and private hire industry in Queensland, have tickets for excavator, skid steer, dozer, roller and compactor and also a high risk dogging licence. I can final trim with and without leveling bar on a skid steer and have some experience operating excavators from 3.5t to 25t, stick raking and clearing on a Cat D5 dozer, farm road fixing on an old JD grader and also experience on various forklifts. I have an open HR truck licence and am currently driving tippers and water trucks. In May 2019 I will be doing my MC licence.
I enjoy farm work a lot and I take care of other people's property. I listen to orders and follow them without complaining. Long days and weeks are welcome for me.
I also worked with cattle and as a general farm hand maintaining the equipment, fences and yards.
I own a stock horse, tack and a float which I could use for mustering if needed.
I also own a small earthmoving business which contains a bogie tipper, a 5.5t excavator and attachements (augers / posthole borer, hydraulic grab / grapple, hydraulic rock breaker, 3 buckets). I can work on my own ABN and use my machines if needed.
I have been in Australia since October 2015. I love the rural life in the bush and have applied for a permanent visa to stay in Australia. I'm on a bridging visa (to parner visa) at the moment and have no work restrictions. I'm very eager to learn more about all kinds of farming and animal husbandry.

'Sammy is a good worker, she initially had little experience but did the whole harvest and sorghum sowing with us. She operated front wheel assistance machines, chaser bins, 12m maxemerge planters as well as servicing of her machines each morning and has knowledge of Greenstar. She is honest & hard working, doing 18hr days over harvest with no complaints.. Her English is very good esp. over UHF, and I would certainly have her back again.'

My name is Leanne and I am from Donegal, Ireland. I am at the beginning of my 417 work and travel visa and eager to begin full time work. I have a valid White Card and I also have a full Irish driving licence.
I live in a small farm outside the town of Ramelton where my family have a small poultry farm, alongside a family farm owned by my uncle which keeps sheep and cattle. I have grown up assisting both my parents and uncles with the farm including transporting animals/ feeding and looking after poultry, harvesting crops on a small scale (fruit/vegetables), picking fruits and also helping clear fields of stones/other debris. I am an excellent team working, assisting in many duties both on the farm and within other roles.
I am a very hard worker and have used this ethos in many capacities. I have a lot of experience working in restaurants and within the health service where I have worked for shifts up to 12 hours per day, carrying heavy plates and working efficiently and quickly at busy times. In America I worked in a restaurant where I was required to carry heavy trays, ice buckets and bottle crates, alongside setting up and de-rig of outside furniture on a daily basis. I am a quick learner and enthusiastic to learn new skills.
From completing my White Card I have an excellent understanding of health and safety and PPE within the workplace, and always ensure to adhere to safe work practices.
Currently myself and my partner Ciaran McBride are seeking regional work. We are flexible for any working hours/ interview times and would love an opportunity to learn and develop our skills

Hi
We are Josch and Mo two Germans travelling in Australia since October 2016. We know each other from early childhood and were always very interested in machines, cars and other vehicles. We worked on five different farms in Australia yet and collected some experience which made us really enthusiastic in farming. Our main tasks on these farms were e.g. ground preparation for the cotton, chaser bin driver for potato, onions or beetroot, and forklift driver. In total we have each about 1000 hours tractor experience. We also helped for a couple of weeks on a big dam/pump site, operated excavators and bobcats, did the concreting, grinding and welding.
The next challenge for us would be to learn how to operate a header.
We already got our second year visa and are keen to stay for a couple of month on the farm depending on work, atmosphere and wage.
Cheers Josch and Mo

I grew up on a mixed arable/livestock farm back home. During school and university holidays, I worked on the farm and over the last four years I carried out the majority of the tractor work on the farm. This included:
Machinery: Grassland - slashing, fertiliser & manure spreading
Silage - mowing, raking, carting (tractor & trailer), wrapping
Cropping - ploughing, harrowing, sowing, chaser bin
Maintenance- basic maintenance checks on manchineel to ensure safe to use
Livestock: Checking, monitoring and feeding livestock Yard work Extra: At times of the year when my father was away, I was left to look after the farm for up to 10 days at a time
I’ve been in travelling Australia since September. Starting in a Darwin, I bought a car and drove down to Adelaide, along to Melbourne and up to Gundagai where I worked for a hay and silage contractor for 10 weeks. I really enjoyed this experience, both the work itself and living out in rural Australia.
I’m hard working, easy going and I’m happy to work long hours and weekends if needed. I’m keen to learn and will give anything a go. I’m happy working in a team or individually, having spent much time doing both in previous jobs.

Our farm in Germany is specialised on agriculture and has 700 ha. The last 3 years I helped actively during the harvest and preparing the ground for seeding. My main task at our home farm during harvest season was driving the chaser bin with john deer tractors( 6R, 7R) and after that I prepared the ground with a field cultivator, again with John Deer tractors ( 8R, 8210). My current work in Australia is laboring at a hire company. My tasks are building up and building down tents for parties. Additively I know how to weld and metal cutting.

I am a 22 year old shepherd currently based in Hastings, New Zealand on Omahaki Station. I have worked in the farming industry for just over three years and am looking to move forward in my career and gain more skills and knowledge while saving to fund my O.E. I have recently finished seeding on my current property sowing swedes, turnips and new grass. This was all done use a 3 metre drill on steep hill country. I also have experience topping and discing. I am most confident with use of drilling equipment. I also am quite comfortable with general servicing and maintenance of both tractor and implements. I welcome the challenge and experience of seeding in Australia. I am also able to undertake any other farm job put in front of me including stock work, fixing water lines, fencing and any other tasks required. I am extremely comfortable both in a tractor and on farm with a safety conscious mind-set . I think i would be a asset over the 2018 seeding and look forward to your correspondence.

'Andres worked for us for about a month. He was a bit sketchy at the start and I had to put him in his place but I think it was a cultural difference. He was a good worker. It was manual work hand picking capsicums and very hard. We start them on a base rate then put them on a higher rate. The higher rate is an insentive and he proved himself. Actually he was quiet out in the paddock he just put his head down and worked sometimes I forgot he was there. I like him for that as it's better they don't talk when working as there so much to do. I had to put two guys he was working with off which meant he couldn't get here. I told him he could come back if he could get it sorted. '

From the ages of 9 through 13, my parents leased a small property on the North West coast of Tasmania, where they raised a small herd (6-10) cattle, a small flock (15-20) sheep, and chickens. We also had a pet cat, dog, rabbit and budgie. Through the lambing season we had several sets of twins, where the weaker twin was shunned by its mother. To my delight my Father allowed me to hand rear them. In all there were four, in which one of these died. We were also fortunate enough to have room for a vegetable plot, where we were able to grow carrots, squash and zucchini among other vegetables. My father and Grand-father also taught me to fish.
Living in a rural community during those four years meant having access to rural studies at school. We were able to germinate seedlings, re-pot and plant vegetables in our own allotted plots, caring for and watching them grow until eventually harvesting them for our own personal consumption. There were also facilities for caring for domesticated rabbits, chickens, calves and pigs.
I started studying business administration in 2003, obtaining my first position as a part-time administration assistant at a local transport company. By the time I left four years later, I had become the Office Manager. I have acquired several administration positions since, in the mining industry for machinery contractors/sub-contractors to the mines in Central Queensland.
After the Bowen Basin Mining downturn in 2013 my position was made redundant, and my husband and I did not see a future for us in Central Queensland. We sold up and bought a caravan to travel, following the harvest trail.
For the past three years we have been in the Riverland, SA and surrounding areas, where I have taken on such tasks as Grain Handling, Citrus Picking, Citrus Packing and Weighbridge during Vintage.
I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty, manual labour or having a go at any task put before me.

'Amy has worked 2 vintages with us at Kingston Estate Wines, she was originally employed to work as a picker but was called onto the weighbridge when we were stuck. She helped us by controlling quality specifications, using a software platform, managing intake delivery and communicating up and down. It was a leadership role within our business and she excelled, she is a great communicator, she asks for help to understand tasks, takes instruction well, she escalates issues if needed and takes initiative. She is a CAN DO person, who gets on well with her team. She manage shiftwork well, working in 2 week blocks of day or night shift. I would certainly recommend her for hire.'

I recently graduate as an environmental engineer and started working and traveling through
Australia with my partner. I worked in the grain harvest in Victoria (Sea Lake and
Dimboola) and in the grape harvest in Mclaren Vale. I grew up on a farm where I learned
some general maintenance work and handyman jobs. I worked the last 5 years for at least 2
months in a gardening construction company, as site crew at one of Europe's biggest
festivals (Rock Werchter), as a beekeper assistant and as aLabourer at kitchen/airco/solar power
company.
Before my masters degree I did a bachelors degree in Agro and Biotechnology. That in
addition to growing up on a witlof farm gives me some general knowledge about
seeding/sowing, cropping, fertilizing and harvesting of different crops. I have experience
operating larger machinery equipped with GPS autosteer but never used it due to the size of
the paddocks in Belgium.
I don’t mind: Life in roles, a lot of hours, weekend/nightwork and roles that involve strong
psychical labour.

'Sander worked for Grainflow for 2 months doing bunker work. He worked in a team of 6 and was a good team player. He was smart and picked things up well. He used a small tractor and planter and did a pre-start everyday helping maintain them. He was a reliable worker and in my opinion would be a good team leader. I would employ him again.'

'Jasmine started with us in June 2015 and finished up in Feb this year (2018), about two and a half years. She started as a herd manager, looking after day to day operations, moving the cows to and from the shed, working on grazing rotations. She ended up as my 2IC, planning grazing rotations, making fencing plans, night duties during calving, those types of things. She worked unsupervised most of the time, and would report back to me to have decisions approved. She could calve a cow by herself, and was very good tractor operator. We worked on her communication skills while she was here, she was working in a team of four, myself and three others. Her attitude was in go head down and get the job done, she wanted to do everything on her own. Her confidence in communicating and delegating improved greatly. I have no reservations in recommending Jasmine, I would definitely have her back myself if I could. '

I grew up in the countryside, which means that I am no stranger to farm work. I have past experience while working in local farms with picking berries, fruits and vegetables in the spring, cherries and apples in the autumn. In my teen years I worked as a help in a local dairy farm and a turf bog with all those jobs requiring both strenght and persistence.

'Reg is a friendly and happy worker who works well in a team and alone. As a maintenance fitter with us in our Theodore Timber Mill he was responsible for everything from mobile plant to saw benches, conveyor systems to chipper maintenance. As fitter he was often first on site and last to leave, the nature of the fitter role meant that he quite often had to work alone but when he was required he could easily lead a team in maintenance duties. I especially liked the care and attention he took in keeping his tools and workshop in an organised state. Definitely recommend the guy.'

He was alright with machinery and understood how to use it ok but didn't have a great deal of knowledge in maintaining it.

'He worked for me for about 10 days because he just needed to finished off his second year visa days. He did some watering and pulling siphons etc. He also did some tractor work. He's pretty good with the tractor. He operated a rubber track tractor doing some heavy ripping etc. He's conscientious on the machine because he's mechanically minded. He would check the machine well, make sure the filters were clean, grease it etc. He seemed to like the mechanical work but didn't like the other stuff. For example I think you would struggle to get the best out of him doing fencning work or anything like that. He was strong minded which could be difficult for others he was working with. '
